before. Maybe not this exact permutation, but something just like it. The storytelling beats, the character moments, and the general plot of the episode are all very, very familiar.has done this episode multiple times before. It’s the one where Ray is finally in some sort of good place, where he can maybe look out for himself and his best interests, only to have that newfound sense of security upended by both his family and his employers constantly needing him to clean up their own problems.
This kind of storytelling is really tired at this point. We’ve been down this road so many times that even if the scenery is different, the destination remains the same. It genuinely doesn’t matter what each character wants from Ray in this episode, because the entirety of “Inside Guy” is designed to show us how much this family relies on Ray to keep it afloat. The thing is, we know that! We know that Ray is constantly looking after everyone.
The show plays a familiar storyline for comedy in the beginning. Ray brings Molly home from the bar, and the two are about to get all hot and heavy until Ray throws Molly on the bed and she lands on a sleeping Bridget. Molly gives them some space, and Bridget asks her father about how to fix a marriage where someone has cheated. Then, Bunchy shows up to the apartment wanting to talk to Ray about the kid he shot and the money for the surgery.
Ray gets to work on finding out if Mickey ever got on his plane, and he uses his newest employee, Bunchy, to do so. Keeping tabs on everything wears Ray out. He’s got Bunchy asking for an advance on his first payment for the work so that he can help pay for Matteo’s surgery, thinking that doing so will remove the tremendous guilt he feels for what he’s done. It’s never going to work that way, and any possibility for redemption vanishes when Matteo dies in the hospital due to an infection.
Eventually, Ray learns that Mickey never got on the plane and that he’s definitely been running around with Daryll and Sandy in an attempt to get revenge for the 1977 heist. Everything’s starting to pile up at Ray’s feet. Detective Perry is putting the pressure on Smitty, seeing him as the guy who might flip on the family and expose everyone’s role in the murder of the three cops.
